A member of the National Democratic Congress (NDC) who was accompanying former President John Dramani Mahama on his campaign in the Assin North Constituency died in a car accident on Saturday, June 17.
Some party supporters were also injured in the Saturday incident.
The accident took place in Dansame in the Assin North Constituency.
Mr. Mahama expressed his condolences to the deceased’s family in a tweet.
I’ve had to suspend my campaign in Assin North for about 2hrs to visit injured sympathizers who were involved in an accident after our engagement at Dansame. Unfortunately, we lost one of our comrades who enthusiastically joined others to the programme. Our condolences to her…

In ten days, Assin North voters will go to the polls to choose a new Member of Parliament after a seven-member panel of the Supreme Court declared their December 2020 election and subsequent swearing-in of James Gyakye Quayson, the former Member of Parliament of Assin North as unconstitutional.
As a result, representatives from all the major political parties have flocked to the constituency to solicit support from the local populace.
The former president and the NDC candidate, Gyakye Quayson, showed courtesy to the Assin Breku Traditional Council before beginning their campaign for the by-election.
